Expandable Metalic Stent Placement for Treatment of Rectal Stenosis due to Peritoneal Metastasis. Report of three Cases.

Successful Self-Expandable Metallic Stent Placement for a Case of Distal Rectal Stenosis due to Gastric Cancer Metastasis

A 47-year-old woman was diagnosed as having advanced gastric cancer with malignant ascites. Despite chemotherapy, recurrent peritoneal dissemination was seen 1.5 years after operation. A computed tomography scan revealed rectal stenosis due to Schnitzler's metastasis. When the distance from the distal end of the obstruction to the anal verge is less than 5 cm, stent replacement has been said to...

Stent placement for treatment of internal jugular vein stenosis: report of 3 cases

Internal jugular vein (IJV) is one of the central veins and is the largest vein in neck. The application of endovascular stent placement in internal jugular vein stenosis (IJVS) is rare. Here, we studied the feasibility and curative effect of the treatment of IJVS by stent placement. A total of 3 patients with IJVS were diagnosed by angiography and treated with stent placement. Anticoagulant th...

Three cases of pleural metastasis of renal clear cell carcinoma diagnosis: cases report

Background: Malignant pleural effusion is common in patients with advanced malignant tumor. The aim of this study is to analyze the characteristics of pleural metastasis of renal clear cell carcinoma, pleural effusion under medical thoracoscopy and the diagnostic value of interventional thoracoscopy-guided biopsy, and to improve the understanding of pleural metastasis of renal clear cell carcin...

Three cases of endoscopic resection for synchronous early colon cancers after self-expandable metallic stent placement for obstructive colon cancer

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS The feasibility of endoscopic resection for synchronous early colon cancer after placement of self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) for malignant colorectal obstruction is unknown. Herein we evaluated 3 cases of endoscopic resection for synchronous early colorectal cancers after SEMS placement. Patient 1 was an 82-year-old man with obstructive sigmoid colon cancer. We...
